Railway Cancellation fees

Peesently most of the senior citizens and the middle class book their rail tickets in advance since it is most difficult to get a confirmed reservation otherwise. Due to compelling reasons, they may have to cancel their journey.For such canceled tickets, the railway is imposing heavy penalty . This is unfair as the seat/ berth will be certainly filled by others and the railway loses nothing. The cancellation fee if any should not exceed RS 50 for any class of travel. Kindly consider.
